UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre Co.) They make everything from birthday cakes to beef jerky. Now leaders of Pennsylvania's food processing and manufactur ing industries are coming together to make the commonwealth a stronger economic powerhouse through a special initiative coordi nated by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. "We hope to strengthen the food processing and manufacturing sec tor’s contribution to the economic development of Pennsylvania,” said Robert Steele, dean of the col lege. “Pennsylvania is the largest food processing state in the Neath east and ranks among the top five states nationally, but because the industry is so segmented, people often don’t recognize its importance.” Still in its formative stages, the Food Industiy Initiative in Pen nsylvania brings leaders from industry, academia, and govern ment together to strengthen their connections. The group is address ing issues of common concern, such as workforce training, legislation/regulation, and science/technology “areas that affect the industry’s profitability and viability," said Patricia Heus er, director of college relations, who oversees the project “Our group formed in response to the governor’s ‘Technology 21 Initiative,’ which identified six business sectors that could develop family-sustaining, high technology jobs in the common wealth," Heuser said. “Agribusi ness, including food processing and manufacturing, was one of the six sectors selected. “An important aspect of ‘Tech nology 21’ is to have industry itself recommend how to develop its FARM EQUIPMENT Manure Spreader Nl 245 w/recent Gratz chain & endgate, ready to work, 51,500.410-833-9091 JD 670 rake w/dolly wheels, $1650; NH 256 rake $1450; NH 55 rake $975; Int. 700 reset plow 4X, $1475; Int. offset 8' disc $895,610/562-4464. 2440 J.D. 3 point, P.S., 8 speed, Ind.

Food Industries Work Together For growth,” Heuser said. “One recommendation was for industry to become more collectively joined to present a common voice about its issues and needs to state government. “The food processing and man ufacturing industry has seven or eight trade associations that address the needs of their specific groups the bakers, confection ers, milk dealers, and others but they tend not to be able to take on industrywide issues.” One objective is to develop a centralized system for industry access to research, education, and outreach resources at Penn State, with links to other institutional resources in the state. “Academic institutions like Penn State often have services available that can address problems in research, technology transfer, education and workforce training,” said Heuser. “The problem for industry is knowing where to look. “When we looked at education, research and technical support resources, we were surprised to discover that Penn State alone has more than 100 sites that could pro vide services to that industry, but no centralized way for industry to get at those resources,” Heuser said. “Many government programs throughout the state also could benefit the food manufacturers, but manufacturers don’t know how to connect with them. The gover nor hopes to see industry, govern ment and academia work together to maximize the potential that we all agree is there.” The initiative is helping to start discussions with state government representatives in the departments of agriculture, community and economic development, labor and industry and other agencies.
